Al Gore's convenient hypocrisy with $30,000 utility bill

Is Al Gore trying to make his global warming scare movie come true?

Back home in Tennessee, safely ensconced in his suburban Nashville home, Vice President Al Gore is no doubt basking in the Oscar awarded to "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary he inspired and in which he starred.

But a local free-market think tank is trying to make that very home emblematic of what it deems Gore's environmental hypocrisy

Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.

The group makes the point that Gore is not following his own rules.

Gore uses more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year.
